Admission is a waste of time (223)
Lesson 44. The Breakthrough Strike – 3
Ruchel, who had blown the chance to sleep with Ban Yu-won due to Light’s unexpected trick, was not in a good mood from the morning.
“I never thought that up until now, everything was just an act to make me let my guard down.”
“There’s no way all that foolishness is just acting. It must be her original intentions that are unconsciously mixed in.”
Of course, Light didn’t do anything particularly rude to Ban Yu-won.
They just held him back with the attitude that it was normal for two men to share a tent.
It seemed to match Light’s words and actions since the start of the school year, but there was a strange mixture of stubbornness and childishness that could not be explained by that alone.
As expected, Light’s will still resists the damned soul that took over her body!
“No, maybe this is all just Light’s advanced acting to get ahead of me… …!”
Ban Yu-won sighed at the sight of Ruchel making particularly blind and impulsive judgments in relation to that.
“If Light had that kind of acting ability, we wouldn’t have discovered his identity so quickly. Stop whining and just eat some soup.”
“Uuuuu… … .”
Ruchel accepted the bowl and sipped the soup obediently, though her face was tearful.
Ban Yu-won lowered his head to the book in his hand while eating his share of soup.
A sort of ability exploration journal that my grandfather, Ban Ji-won, left me when I left home.
He had awakened the power of language to actualize it, and since it was closely related to Ban Yu-won’s ability, the diary also held considerable value to Ban Yu-won.
‘No, that’s not all.’
Ban Ji-won is the one who has completely inherited the power and secrets of the Ban family.
When Ban Yu-won entered the academy, he helped him absorb concepts from various relics, but he also had a huge amount of relics in his personal possession.
This journal was also written using one of those relics, and had the effect of improving the comprehension and concentration of those who read it.
Perhaps it was not only that, but also the effect of making one identify with the writer of the diary, that while reading the diary, Ban Yu-won was able to feel exactly what Ban Ji-won was thinking and dealing with his abilities at the time.
‘Speech… … It is weak in terms of speed because I have to speak out directly with my mouth, but the effect is absolute. Furthermore, a deep understanding of language can help with my overall power.’
When I first awakened my abilities, I remembered how I was able to overcome high-level enemies by combining various linguistic concepts and creating mystical results.
Even now, it seems miraculous that a simple blunt object became imbued with a spirit and became the prototype of the current Eve.
But after growing up to a certain extent, I realized that the concepts I could get from my surroundings were limited, and even if I combined those concepts, the results I could get were not that dramatic.
If I had to pick a recent success story, it would be Ruchel’s Wild Heart.
‘Perhaps reading this journal will help me create more such opportunities.’
Thanks to the diligent collection of language concepts whenever something big happened, there are still rare concepts sleeping in the code core.
The concept of the giant obtained from the first solo exploration, as well as the corruption and death obtained by summoning creatures from the demon world with Shati’s help, the concept transformation obtained from Ketra, the deification obtained from the last solo exploration, and the synthesis obtained after finishing the orc wave.
It was a pity to use each concept individually, but even if it was impossible right away, there must have been a dramatic way to utilize it.
‘In that sense, the concepts I learned this time were a bit unexpected.’
After finishing reading the diary, Ban Yu-won instead created a small, ‘blue-tinged’ swirl in one hand and his eyes sparkled.
Not only is there destruction obtained by destroying the merciful North Wind’s descending body, but there is also the divine wind that appears to be his unique power.
Surprisingly, it was a concept that even today’s Ban Yu-won could directly deal with.
Among them, the Divine Wind is a concept of wind attribute similar to the Hongyeon, which is the unique power of the Prominence family. Thanks to obtaining this, the depth of elemental magic has deepened again, reaching 520.
“You, that wind.”
Dokgoyeon’s eyes narrowed as he watched Ban Yuwon test the new wind.
She, who had experienced Room 149 together, could not have not known the origin of that wind.
“You noticed.”
“Since you took away their power so easily, it is only natural that the constellations would rush to kill you to see what they can do to you.”
“It’s nothing special. It’s just a slight breeze compared to what that damned descent body was dealing with.”
“The strength of the force is not important. What matters is that the quality of the force is the same. Besides, you have a yuri ball. You can increase it even more.”
“Maybe, little by little.”
What if we mixed in the red flame, which is also a power of the same constellation?
It will probably be a complex property that no one can handle.
What if we succeed in melting the Holy Light there, even if it is imperfect?
By then, we will have reached a realm that goes beyond the boundaries of elemental magic and photon magic.
Since it has come to this, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try out the power of other constellations that control the power of the elements.
‘It was a good choice to create a Yuwon-gong that was not limited to only martial arts.’
It’s martial arts.
Perhaps they had the same thought, as Ban Yu-won and Dokgo-yeon simultaneously turned their gazes to the opposite direction.
What was there was Light, who had finished eating earlier than the rest of the group and was swinging his sword.
His swordsmanship now had a different depth than before.
The spearmanship that Light learned from Dokgo Yeon is slowly coming out.
The sight of him swinging his sword with such unwavering determination made it seem as if he was trying to erase any traces of his martial arts skills.
There is no need to think deeply about the cause.
Yesterday’s impulsive behavior was also successful in stimulating Light’s inner self by the members.
‘Anyway, I got a rough idea from this exploration. All I have to do is create a situation where the light can really shine.’
Maybe it’s the friendship I have with the Rebellion members.
It could be the challenge he has for the tower.
It could be a fairly deep feeling that he has for Ban Yu-won.
To be honest, it seemed easiest to stimulate the last one.
If you ask for help from Lucelle and Mira, they will be happy to join you, and you will probably be able to elicit a reaction from Light… … .
‘No, this makes me sound like I’m a womanizer.’
It’s unfair, he’s not a punk who goes around flirting with women!
For a moment, dark memories flashed through my mind and I recalled the nightmare of Bansanoba, but I shook my head and shook it off.
Just then, Light walked towards him, putting the Holy Sword back into its sheath.

“Are you still planning to rest?”
“No, let’s go now. It looks like the chain rooms will continue, so everyone, brace yourself.”
The difficulty increases as the chain rooms continue.
With a chain of over 20 rooms already connected, the Rebellion channel will probably go crazy once again if I upload this video.
The problem is that we don’t know how long the irregular phenomenon that occurred in Room 149 will continue.
Although it was an extremely dangerous expedition, the concepts and information gained during this expedition were invaluable, something that could never have been obtained through regular exploration.
‘When Light first did it, I thought that since this exploration was already a failure, I would retire and try again, but maybe forcibly destroying the Trick Room was the right choice… … .’
Even if you give in to everything the top demands, you’ll still be playing on a carefully crafted board.
In order to make deeper contact with the constellations and learn the secrets of the tower, you may have to make unexpected choices in the future.
“egg plant.”
“Since it has come to this, let’s finish the exploration quickly… … .”
The group, having cleaned up, opened the door to the next room while chewing on the Eden’s life tree that they had left behind one by one.
A dark world with surprisingly little light.
There was a fierce battlefield unfolding there.
A small group of humans were holding out against the monsters that were coming from all sides by erecting a flimsy barrier, but it looked like it would collapse at any moment.
“Ah! The Savior has come!”
Somehow, familiar faces greeted the group.
Ban Yu-won, who had never thought that his relationship with the NPCs would last this long, felt a sense of burden as he faced them whose faces brightened as soon as they saw him.
“… … .”
Meanwhile, Light, who confirmed that the NPCs’ hearts had completely turned to Ban Yu-won, looked slightly uncomfortable.
If this stimulates him, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to hang out with the NPCs and play boss for a while, he thought, licking his lips.
Suddenly, Ban Yu-won had such a question.
‘Wait, if the tower cut out a part of the original other world when it created the room… …what about these NPCs?’
Of course, in the past, I had already judged through my own eyes that these people were not real people, but it was also too much to overestimate one’s own judgment in a tower where one did not know what would happen…
Ban Yu-won decided to stop thinking about it for now.
Because there was no basis for judgment and it was not helpful to him either.
“What is the situation?”
“After the tower collapsed and the Savior disappeared, monsters suddenly started to swarm us. Perhaps… … this place is the only place safe from destruction.”
“It’s a monster wave!”
“The power of the gods that remained on the earth is now completely absent. We must overcome this situation with only human power… …!”
Why do chain rooms continue to exist in situations like this?
There is even less to be gained from the Chain Room if even the opportunity to contact the constellations that seem to know the secrets of the Tower has disappeared.
“It’s just the poor NPCs who are suffering,” Ban Yu-won grumbled to himself, but he created a barrier on the spot and reinforced the barrier.
While Light was raising his holy sword and heading towards the NPCs in an attempt to regain control, Dokgo Yeon was looking around without any intention of moving.
“… … You are trying to teach us in a way that I don’t like.”
“Teach me? What?”
“This is a model of punishment. Ban Yu-won, you must have seen it in Room 149. The constellations, from the Tower’s perspective, were trying to do something presumptuous.”
“Indeed… … Then is this a rebirth of history?”
The result of the constellations’ attempt to imitate the Tower of Babel was that the Tower, sensing their power, cut it down to pieces and banished them into the Tower.
So what would have happened to the world where the tower originally existed?
Perhaps that ending was what the group was seeing now.
Although not entirely identical, this room ultimately depicts what the world would have looked like after the tower collapsed.
If you think about it that way, the series of events that started with violating the conditions of the Trick Room may be in line with Top’s will.
“Of course, monsters and people are products of the tower. That flimsy fake tower was probably a textbook. It was a warning from the tower not to take the wrong path.”
“Then… … This room is also the tower’s reward for us.”
Ban Yu-won, who had come to a clear conclusion thanks to Dokgo Yeon, clapped his hands and said.
Dokgo Yeon nodded obediently, without denying what he said, even though he had a displeased expression.
“The real world may have ended like this, but we will eventually hunt all these monsters and receive the reward from the Chain Room.”
“As a reward for breaking the will of the constellation and collapsing the tower, they increased the chain room and gave us a warning and a reward.”
When I thought about it like that, suddenly this dark world began to look like a treasure trove.
The constellations that are the main cause of the irregular phenomenon can no longer intervene in this chain room, and the rewards given by the tower only increase as it continues.
There has never been a better opportunity to gain depth in a life that has recently slowed down.
But just looking at the current situation itself, it was a little funny.
That would be the case, because punishing the constellations that created the false tower and destroying the tower was so similar to the ending of the Tower of Babel described in the Bible.
‘So in the end, which one is worse?’
If you climb to the top of this tower, will you be able to find out?
Ban Yu-won shrugged his shoulders, stopped thinking about his thoughts that had no answer, and took up his sword and went into battle.
The chain room, which eventually reached Room 159 after several shifts and multiple shifts, was completed that afternoon with the tower’s reward of increasing Ban Yu-won’s life by a whopping 30.
All NPCs survived.
